sailing...

i've got a shirt from global culture... it says "sailing; Obsession; the act of getting really cold, really wet, going nowhere really fast and spending really large amounts of money" i do agree with the above especially since its the time of the year that i'm checking my boat. I've found i need a new universal joint on my acme fatso jr tiller, and probably a new 7mm mainsheet because this season, the 6mm has been making mincemeat out of my fingers and causing quite a lot of discomfort while sailing up wind in heavy air... well... i guess these are things that have to be done... but i'm happy, i'm sailing well this year, and am not doing too badly... (i just won the febuary in house race laser open class last weekend- haha) i'm looking forward to the weekend because i'm going sailing again... anyway a note from myself to myself: GET A NEW UNIVERSAL JOINT AND THE FUDGING MAINSHEET (14.5m)!
